Ain’t shit revisionist about that. They were terrible during that stretch. It was clear as day , and since Phil already knew that Krause wasn’t bringing him back, and Jordan not wanting to play for any other coach, talks about the inevitable breakup intensified. That’s all that was being discussed. That they didn’t look the same. That they looked slower

Also Jordan was getting old even though he was still a great player. His scoring average dropped and his shooting percentage dropped. Plus the bulls had the second oldest team in the league. And that really showcased itself when Scottie was out.

That sixth year was way less dominating than their previous 5 championships, and a struggle from beginning to end. As I stated before, they won the division by 2 games over Indiana , and Indiana took them 7 games in the ECF. Indiana definitely had the better, younger team. Bulls’experience got them over. But it was pretty evident that the team needed to be broken up....it was the last dance. Run was done.....also having to deal with pacer fans talking shit on the radio.

There wasn’t anything dominating or decisive about that season, and it was mired in tons of speculation, uncertainty, and drama about the team. Winning the championship that year was more a relief , than it was a huge celebration.

Why do you think we are about to watch a documentary, not about on how great that season was, but on how much of struggle it was on and off the court.
